2016 GT3RS front tires seem to be rubbing at full lock
I just picked up my RS and I am extremely happy with my choice. Big thanks to the team of knowledgeable members here who helped me make the decision! A few pics attached.
I realized after I tried to park the car when I got home is that the front tires are rubbing ever so lightly on full lock, left as well as right. As I understand the car is on its original suspension and I already took it to Ray Catena Porsche dealer. I was told that its normal and nothing to worry about. Is this a known problem? https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...1c9e90fdd1.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...ed71113354.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...5b1f0f4652.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...d62c0fd746.jpg |
Rubbing where? Typically it's the front or back of the wheelwell, in which case your caster is likely off.

Stock setup - I get rubs on full lock.
I consider it normal. ps - congratulations on the Ultraviolet - great color! :rockon: |

Mine did not rubb at full lock. It did rubb at the position of the indicators when going fast into compressions.

Completely normal. And on undulating tracks they front tyres also wear through the inside liner. Porsche have been kind enough to make these out of cheap plastic. The later builds do this less. These features are seen as a trade off for the advantages of bigger rubber. Imv adds to the character. |
The 4 corners of a 991 GT3 RS rub on the stock tires depending on the driving speed and conditions. There is a TSB to reduce rubbing in the rear.
If the front rub bothers you, you can remove caster by taking out all the shims, then get more camber by pushing the strut tops fully inboard, and no more rubbing. |
My Touring rubs the front tires on full lock when I have the front end lift in the up position.

Nope, no rubbing when front is not lifted.
|
Not rubbing without front lift if you set the car up according to the “no rubbing track setup” document. Don’t have it handy now |

Yes this is known prob, there is a recall on the plastic liners i believe
